In this episode we explore the theme of New Year’s resolutions, but with a refreshing twist. As we embark on the new year, I encourages you to embrace a softer, more deliberate approach, focusing not on external pressures, but on creating the space for growth and reflection from the inside out. While many embrace the traditional idea of setting resolutions and striving for personal improvement in January, I prefer to honour the stillness of winter and instead focus on the possibility of writing a new story, one rooted in kindness, self-respect, and alignment with deeper longings and not just ambitions.
Key Takeaways
Rethinking Resolutions: A staggering 91% of resolutions fail, most of them by the second Friday of January, also known as Quitter’s Friday.
The Power of Perspective: I invite you to shift from a mindset of “something is wrong with me” to one of self-compassion and support.
Winter’s Yin Energy: The winter season is a time for reflection and rest, not frantic goal-setting and achieving.
Annette’s New Year’s Wish: I share my own ritual of setting a New Year’s wish, rather than a resolution.
